Conversation Piece
RF1903 Sideways Sofa
As digital devices challenge our traditional ways of conversation, the Sideways Sofa provides an equally modern antidote to dialogue and discovery — and, not least, downtime. Made in Denmark and created by award-winning Danish designer Rikke Frost, the distinctive design eschews the traditional forward-facing sofa in favor of a sideways position that encourages more natural conversation.
In keeping with Carl Hansen & Søn’s DNA, where uncompromising craftsmanship and thoughtful expression seamlessly merge, the Sideways Sofa combines classic materials – sustainably sourced wood, paper cord and high-quality upholstery textile – with a modern asymmetric shape. The steam-bent backrest is shaped from solid wood and woven paper cord for a light, elegant expression, while the seat and back are padded and upholstered for optimal comfort. The result is a sofa you want to sit in for a long time.
The soft, embracing upholstery, elegant paper cord and solid wood frame of the Sideways Sofa radiate both quality and craftsmanship.
The Sideways Sofa reinterprets the sofa as a piece of furniture that brings people together and invites conversation.
Danish designer Rikke Frost has always been curious about the combination of different craft traditions and material types. The Sideways Sofa puts her inquisitiveness into practice, mixing paper cord, wood and upholstery with a modern, asymmetrical shape.
The sideways sofa blends classic materials such as woven paper cord and wood in a modern and functional design.
Fusing craftsmanship traditions with high-tech production, the Sideways Sofa offers versatile comfort and functionality – its asymmetrical shape is suited to face-to-face conversations or a nap in the cave-like corner.
